Chalkers Apr 29, 2020
I'm not familiar with any of Fish's solo works and I'm only marginally familiar with the works of Marillion but this album is absolutely amazing. I'd even suggest that Brother 52 is one of the lost masterpieces of the 90's - such a fantastic track. Another brilliant album that probably never got the wider recognition that it deserved due to it's association with the 'progressive rock' tag. Such a shame since this is one of the best rock albums to come out of the 90's in my mind.
